"Blight gives a good analysis of the two found texts from extraordinary men who escaped slavery (one after five attempts) in 1862 and 1864. Blight's background of the times and how these men lived their lives in freedom is a nice counterpoint to the way each man tells his own story."
"I just heard David Blight speak this morning and he is fantastic! His book includes two slave narratives of emancipation that are incredible stories themselves."
